Wolves vs Reading predictions, betting tips and match preview

Championship leaders Wolves look to move a step closer to the second-tier title when meeting lowly Reading at Molineux Stadium on Saturday evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras. The pace-setters will be keen to send out a message to the rest of the division after going three games without a win – draw, draw, loss – the latest in that poor run being a painful 2-0 in London vs Fulham. Sessegnon and Mitrovic helped themselves to a goal either-side of half-time, the beaten side ending with only two shots on target to show for their efforts. Despite that they are 4/9 favourites at Coral to bounce back.

Reading head into the weekend stuck down in 18th with three defeats and a pair of draws making up their last five. The Royals left empty-handed when sinking to a 3-1 at home to Sheffield United on Tuesday night, the second match in-a-row Jaap Stam’s side have conceded three goals. Sharp nicked two, Duffy getting the other and the job was done by half-time. Richards hit a response on 51 minutes, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation goal. Both teams to score live on TV is 23/10 at William Hill, judged to be a lot more likely than the away win at 8/1 with Sportingbet.

Wolves vs Reading – Championship predictions

Why are these predictions worth betting on?

A big price about a decent side in with an opponent who have struggled for wins of late but we’re not going to snap at the carrot. Instead, we’ll keep things simple and back a Wolves win as the NAP of our betting tips at 4/9 (Coral). Not a big offer but there’s enough there to round-off your domestic accumulators or it could kick-start a Saturday night cross-sports multiple to keep you interested.

If you plan on watching the match and would prefer a single at a bigger price to make things a little more dramatic then why not follow our correct score predictions? We’re having 3-1 Wolves at 12/1 with William Hill. Remember, that would’ve been a winning bet in Reading’s last start and they’ve made a habit of losing three goals this winter.
